I have some concerns about this article. First, was she a chief (as the article's title implies), or is it trying to say her name was actually "Chief Earth Woman", with "Chief" not being a title? If the former, shouldn't that be mentioned somewhere in the article? Also, "Earth Woman" seems like the kind of ridiculously stereotyped name someone trying to think up an "Indian name" for a strong female fighter might come up with. I have trouble believing it's real. I've tried looking for more information, but the only references I've been able to find so far are from these feminist encyclopedia type books. I have nothing against those as sources per se, but I'd be concerned if none of them mentioned primary sources. My suspicion is that no primary sources exist, because this woman never existed, and somehow a fabrication became accidentally repeated as fact by well-meaning people. That sounds kind of harsh when I actually say it, though.
Since others know more about this subject than I do, though, I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong and help improve the article (as it is, not only is it extremely short, but it lacks sufficient context, explanation, or demonstration of notability). If no secondary source published in, say, a peer-reviewed journal is found, or no primary sources are cited by any secondary sources...well, I'd be concerned. But again, I'll defer to others here. Thanks. Take care, -- Miskwito 03:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
